WE NEED TO TALK WITH MARLENE SMITH, PANYA BANJOKO and Manjit Sahota

Marlene Smith and Panya Banjoko in conversation will discuss the BLK Arts Group, an association of Black British students of art in the Midlands that included Eddie Chambers, Donald Rodney, Claudette Johnson, and Marlene Smith. The conversation will explore the links to Nottingham and how Nottingham writers and artists worked collaboratively with artists from Birmingham. Also taking place in the space Manjit Sahota will creatively respond to the topic, energy, themes, or words and statements and transform them into a creative outcome.
